Talk:Snapjaw
Wii Fit?
Where is it confirmed that the creatures in the tightrope game are Snapjaws? This seems akin to speculation in my mind. Bop1996 (Talk)
It said they had a totally different appearance so I deleted it. Thanks for noting that. PikaSamus (talk)
Yoshi's Island DS
Shouldn't the Yoshi's Island DS Snap Jaws be split, seeing as how they look completely different and have different names in English and Japanese? Niiue (talk) 20:32, 14 August 2017 (EDT)
- I was going to say that the same can almost be said of the original Donkey Kong Jr. enemy and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong version (as with Nitpicker), but seeing that all the toy enemies were split in the latter when these don't appear to be mechanical and I think they have more passive behavior in Yoshi's Island DS, it would be consistent with that idea. I suppose the articles would be split between Snapjaw and Snap Jaw? LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:05, 14 August 2017 (EDT)
The Snap Jaw in Yoshi's Island DS is clearly an homage to its own appearance in "DK Jr". We should keep it where it is to avoid confusion. Also, the fact that they have different Japanese names says nothing at all... Re-reading LinkTheLefty's comment made me change my mind. In DK Jr. and across the MvsDK series, Snapjaws were mechanical, whereas the Yoshi's Island DS Snap Jaws are organic. We should split them to keep consistency with other situations, such as Shy Guy/Shy Guy (toy), Ninji/Ninji (toy), Monkikki/Monchee etc. -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE
- I know this dated by a year, but should we split? Some of you seem to be ok for this idea, and i agree about those fact about appearance and name. --FanOfYoshi (talk) 11:22, 7 September 2018 (EDT)
- Well, there hasn't been any objections in all this time, so let's do it for consistency with the split of organic and mechnical enemies. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:22, 8 September 2018 (EDT)
- I'd also like to point out the differences between a metal bear trap monster and a plastic toy alligator. Not much pointed to arcade/GB Snapjaw being a crocodilian, iirc. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:54, 8 September 2018 (EDT)
- Good point; however, this description does call it a crocodilian monster, and splitting Snapjaw/Alligator would also call into question Nitpicker/Bird (although, by that token, neither of them were "toys" back in Donkey Kong Jr., so perhaps a case can be made there after all).
